6.18.67

6/18/67 is the eighth and final short film of the scriptwriter, producer and director George Lucas and was produced in 1967 on the occasion of an offer from Columbia Pictures and producer Carl Foreman to fund two student films. This student films should document the production MacKenna 's Gold.

Lucas followed the production to MacKenna 's Gold very distant, because he could not identify emotionally with the making of the film, and this attitude carried over, ultimately, in his short film. He completed his film work on 18 June 1967 and made this date to the title of his silent film, which was compiled from the material of MacKenna 's Gold. 18/06/67 is a 16 -mm color film of four and a half minutes in length.

Action

The film begins with a sunrise in the desert. The wind sweeps over the bushes, animals graze and a giant windmill turning in the wind. An actor on a horse comes into the picture. While the camera to film team approaches, which has been protected from the sun with umbrellas, the word Cut ( German section ) can be heard in a whisper. On a motion with the consolidating clouds a rainbow, lightning and a torrent follow.

The sun goes down, and the natural daily routine goes on, regardless of the activities of the filmmakers in the valley.
